An A to Z of Music Genres

I thought it would be interesting to cover music genres from A to Z as a kind of musical explorative journey. To participate please post one track or sample of the kind of music you propose for a letter. One letter covered and one track per post please, or... (see later in post). If you want to do the next letter next or continue with the same letter with another genre (or just mention another track from the last post's genre), that's fine. I would like to be pretty flexible about how we go about it. Actually, if you want to mention a track from the last letter (either one from a genre mentioned or a different one) and mention another genre from that letter or the next letter as well, that's fine too. I don't want this becoming laundry list type posts, and with lots per post it can make it harder to listen to what has been posted.

I will start with A. I could do have done Art music, art pop, art rock and others, but I will do...

... A for Ambient.

Natural Snow Buildings - "Left For Dead"



If anyone has suggestions on improvements on how to go about this, since I only just had the idea and this is me insomnia posting, feel free to mention those. I'm hoping to become a little more musically educated during the journey through genres.

^ Fantastic, that John Lee Hooker is such a great choice. I'll give your post a B plus for a B plus one more.

I want to do another one for B, was thinking Bluesgrass, but then I thought of Brazilian Folk Music (which is considered a genre of music). This was my choice in an early Interactive Poll and it went down very well.

Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - "Trilha De Sumé"



I love the album it's off.

^^ Thanks Cristi. Doom metal is one of my favourite kinds of metal. I appreciated the track.

Just a note because I thought of this after my first post. This may not need saying, but then things I say rarely do.   While I would ask people not to jump ahead in the genre alphabet, if people wish to revisit a letter already done, feel free, rather than having to wait until we reach Z and then going around again. I want to be flexible, but then it's not like when I make topic the thread belongs to me, if you know what I mean.

I'm kind of tempted to do a C for Canterbury Scene, but I'll do a another D with Dark Jazz: Heroin And Your Veins - The Death Of a Lover



^ I see you got in with E Paul, I had spent some time thinking about what to go with of Dark Jazz. I was going to go with something from Twin Peaks or Portishead.

For E, my obvious choice would be Electronic.

Zanov -Green Ray

^ Great one, and another F as in F is for Folk:

Nick Drake - "River Man"



Can't resist mentioning this song which is so special to me (it may be my favourite song of all).

As well as Glam Metal, there's also Glam Rock, with Slade & the "Chrome Nun" (Dave Hill)

You forgot the video.
